Darlo Uncovered

does a 30 goal a season striker miss several chances from about 6 yards out?.. he was s*** hot in pre-season against teams like whitby, so we can't really blame the system we were playing... he just wasn't/isn't cut out for conference level. But Whitby aren't Conference level so your point is flawe...

Yep I heard the same thing. Saying some players had agreed to cuts of up to 25%.

Is it any wonder our club's in the s***, given the amount of people leaking information?

Err, have you been living under a rock or something? Raj offered Liddle the job permanently and he turned it down.

If England had the guts to stand up for what is right - bit like we used to do - then the whole world of football would change. If English Clubs withdrew from European competitions, I agree that TV rights payments would plummet, but that would hit other European teams far harder that it would hit E...

reidy93 wrote:Great performance from the lad, and I've heard that he is off to Stoke at the end of this season for about £90,000. Not sure wether its true though.

Based on one first team performance? I'd find that a bit unusual.

EC clearly isn't a true supporter. A true supporter actually tries to unify fans, not divide them with this "you didn't go so you're not a true supporter" nonsense. In fact, EC is coming across like a paranoid nutter with an obsession for classifying himself above others, as if there's some sort of ...

Having watched football for many years, I do think that England can hold it's head up in it's approach to racism in the game. Let's face it, when I first starting watching, there were no black footballers. I grew up in the era when I marched against racists like Enoch Powell - for years black footb...

Read this on the Ebbsfleet forum... "What can you say about today,we seemed second best for most of the game,the goals by Liam Hatch were both good goals,I didnt see their third I had stopped watching by then,it says something when Preston gets man of the match and we lost three , one. I spoke to l...

" on paper" 4 of our next 5 games are winnable ? On paper, games against Alfreton, Hayes and Yeading, Southport and Bath were also winnable and look what happened there. That said, Liddle does seem to be creating a team spirit which was evidently lacking under Cooper. Given the state of the club of...

This won't go down well, but there was a rumour that Pools were sniffing round. Was only a rumour and no I didn't hear it from a source within any club.

Liddle seemingly likes 4-3-3, so I'd guess we'll line up something like:

Russell
Arnison, Lee, Jhona, Brown
McReady, Chandler, MBW
Gray, Hatch, Rundle

I don't think anyone of those lot are out injured.

I did AQA Government and Politics 2 years ago at QE and it was great fun. Really interesting and I'd definitely recommend it. My advice would be, if you know what you want to do in life, do all you can to get towards that. I knew what I wanted to do at a young age, so my A Level choices all linked i...

At 3 o' clock on Saturday .... The George, The Grey Horse and The Green Dragon to name but 3 will be choca full of arseholes watching Man City v Newcastle on some Egyptian tv channell. I think that says it all really! Do you make any attempt to get for facts right before you post, or do you enjoy l...

I'm a student and I live a good distance away. Coming to a home game would take up about three quarters of my weekly budget, so obviously I have to choose the matches I'm going to and save up. When I'm back in Darlington then I go when I can. What really annoys me is the "you don't go to games so yo...

Santino wrote:Why is everyone I know who goes to the majority of games such a smug, elitist twat about it?

Thank you sensible person. I've been thinking exactly the same thing recently.

Apologies if this is already covered, but I've been away and am trying to catch up. I see that the players have been given leave to talk to other clubs. I saw Greg Taylor is loaned to Luton and will join permanently in January. Do we get a transfer fee in January from this or is the cost just off t...

Surprised people are shocked. Fleetwood were sniffing round so Walshaw's wage was bound to be high.

Clever prick. For what its worth I know someone who works for NUFC and he says they rate him highly. I'd sooner take the view from a professional opinion than off some messageboard rant. Also funny to see some of the Chesterfield fans slagging off Sheridan, the man who got them promoted last season...

Guess this isnt happening anytime soon? Just thought that tomorrow night pre game might have been the ideal chance for a few of us to get together. I'm going to wait to see what happens. If it turns out the club will survive in the long run, then a meeting will be pointless, and could serve to spli...

Jenny Chapman isn't interested in Darlo FC, unless she thought there was some votes in it for her. To be fair to her, she is taking more of an interest than previous MP's. And she is actively speaking to the Trust about the current situation, and she does attend games. I was unsure over her at firs...

Oh man, I hope that's on YouTube.
Is Soderburgh another player to be ruined by the curse of Darlo?

No he's not. He was shite before he came here.

I'm looking into it at the moment. I'm trying to gather together a potential list of venues/speakers/chairs, but I'm quite open to any suggestions. And as previously said, any offers of help arranging this meeting would be greatly appreciated. I've got too much on to arrange this on my own. And Jay,...

Do we get the fee now, or will we get it in January?

January I would think, as soon as the transfer window opens.

So the club has to stay open until January for us to get a fee. Luton may well have got themselves an excellent freebie.

I don't want to pour cold water on things but I think this would be better left until such a time as we know officially what is going to happen. You can't really discuss any plans for the future until the picture is clearer. Is the club going into admin, will it see out the season, what is happenin...

Right, given the feedback from those who have replied, I will look into trying to arrange something. HOWEVER I need more expressions of interest than the few we've had so far. It'd be terrible if a meeting was arranged only for half a dozen people to turn up. Secondly, if there is to be a meeting, I...

Who is the person that seems to know everything? Everyman man and his dog seems to 'have heard' something this evening All these contacts but yet no one knows the real story, strange Because most people who "claim to have heard something" are actually making it up. Funny how they never say precisel...
